<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Project Revolution is a WarCraft3 : Frozen Throne Mod, that will turn StarCraft:BroodWar into 3D. The Mod will stay true to the original StarCraft:Broodwar. No Races will be added, no heroes, no Units or skills. Just plain old SC. In 3D. Check out our screenshots to see what we've been working on. Check out our site and drop a few lines on the forum or visit our IRC channel for a chat with the team if you like. We're always scouting for talented artists and coders. If you think you can contribute to this project visit our site.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    This sounds like a prime candidate for a cease and desist.

    This project has been going on for years and Bizzard condones it. At least it has so far.

    In legally binding writing? Otherwise, wait for the "lol, yoink!"

    They reserve the right to "yoink" it at any time I'm sure. Blizzard are usually not the type of ass-hats to let a fan project continue for 5+ years and then cut it.

    What a crappy trailer. They mispronounced "basin." At least the actual mod looks pretty good, as always. Too bad their hydralisk is so much uglier than the one included in Warcraft III.

    theres also a gameplay video that looks really nice. the reason blizzard is okay with it is because the original starcraft cds are required to install the game since that is where they get all their sounds from.

    You also need Warcraft III and Frozen Throne I believe.

    See, I guess I don't really get the point. It seems like they've recreated Starcraft EXTREMELY well, to the point where some of the units are almost indistinguishable from their 2d counterparts. Why bother playing it over Starcraft, then? I'm all for updating old games with better graphics, but these are only slightly better. Since they aren't doing any gameplay changes or anything, and it really doesn't look super different, why even bother playing?

    Because a maximum resolution of 800x600 makes me want to shoot myself.

    Just in time for the release of the actual SC 2!

    You would think they could have accomplished more in 5 years... looks like only the Terran are "done".

    They should have added their own units at least, like water based units perhaps since your can build them in WCIII:FT...

    Puh got lucky there mate.

    SC only supports 640x480 max, so you do NOT have to shoot yourself. Really lucky.
